Ex-Goldman employee’s book set to hit shelves on 22 October

Share

Just six months after he resigned from Goldman Sachs with a scathing op-ed in the New York Times, Greg Smith’s book is already written and scheduled for release on 22 October. The former employee, who claimed clients were routinely referred to as “muppets”, has rather unimaginatively titled his book: “Why I left Goldman Sachs.” The Capitalist doesn’t like to be cynical but perhaps the $1.5m (£932,000) advance Grand Central Publishing allegedly paid played a part.
